Working with Education: A Framework of Business Ojbectives and Activities
Abstract
This is a working document produced for the “BP in Education” European Conference in November 1989. The main benefits or objectives of business involvement with education are examined in depth and the main types of activity which can help to achieve them are described. There are four key objectives: thriving economy and society, licence to operate, human resourcing and business development. There is a wide variety of activities through which businesses can pursue these objectives. They can be divided into five main types: student work experience and vocational training; enriching teaching and learning; reciprocal attachments in business and education; donations; and services from education. Each objective is related to the main activities which serve them.
